I've been trying to get help on a Kubernetes question and I don't get answers, and one suggestion was to ask on the Kubernetes slack channel, however it seems to be on invite only or for google, intel, coreos and redhat email addresses. Kubebot is a Kubernetes chatbot for Slack. This project is in active development and it's not ready for production yet. To run Kubebot on Slack, first you need to create a new bot user integration on Slack and get the token.
# Progressive Delivery
Flagger was designed to give developers confidence in automating production releases with progressive delivery techniques.
Canary release
A benefit of using canary releases is the ability to do capacity testing of the new version in a production environmentwith a safe rollback strategy if issues are found. By slowly ramping up the load, you can monitor and capture metricsabout how the new version impacts the production environment.
Flagger can run automated application analysis, testing, promotion and rollback for the following deployment strategies: Evernote meaning.
- Canary (progressive traffic shifting)
- Istio(opens new window),Linkerd(opens new window),App Mesh(opens new window),Contour(opens new window),Gloo(opens new window),NGINX(opens new window),Skipper(opens new window)Traefik(opens new window)
- Wp themes templates. A/B Testing (HTTP headers and cookies traffic routing)
- Istio(opens new window),App Mesh(opens new window),Contour(opens new window),NGINX(opens new window)
- Blue/Green (traffic switching and mirroring)
- Kubernetes CNI(opens new window),Istio(opens new window),Linkerd, App Mesh, Contour, Gloo, NGINX, Skipper, Traefik
Flagger can be configured to send notifications(opens new window) toSlack, Microsoft Teams, Discord or Rocket.It will post messages when a deployment has been initialised,when a new revision has been detected and if the canary analysis failed or succeeded.
# GitOps
You can build fully automated GitOps pipelines for canary deployments with Flagger andFlux(opens new window).
GitOps
GitOps is a way to do Kubernetes cluster management and application delivery.It works by using Git as a single source of truth for declarative infrastructure and applications.With Git at the center of your delivery pipelines, developers can make pull requeststo accelerate and simplify application deployments and operations tasks to Kubernetes.
